Well I decided to go with the eBay stock to hold the parts. I'm happy with the way it turned out and can't wait to shoot it again.

I was able to shoot the rifle Saturday and we had a great time with it. I love the looks on people's faces when I bring these old rifles to the range. It held a 3-4 inch group at 50 yards. I was able to hit the 8" gong at 100 yards multiple times. I got the cleaning rod I ordered from S&S today and it looks correct.

Here's a picture of my re-stocked 1884 and my re-stocked 1868 with the cleaning rod. The rod is a reproduction, but has the correct single step.
